IMPROVEMENT IN SINKS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 169,551, datedNovember 2, 1875; application filed May 4, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LoUIs JoNEs, Jr., of

the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Sinks, which improvement is fully set forth in thefollowing specification, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, in which Figure 1 represents a front View, partly in section.'Fig'. 2 is a horizontal section.

basin of my sink, which may have any chosen outline, and which isprovided with a grating, formed by a group of perforations, a. Thisgrating is situated in proximity to one of the walls of the basin, whichwall has an addition, B, cast therewith, in such a manner as to form apassage, 0, in said wall. The addition or part B is provided withperforations b, so that .in case the grating a becomes stopped up withdirt or other substance, the water escapes from the basin A by theperforations b, which thus form an overflow to the passage 0. Beneath'the grating a is situated a funnel-shaped device, D, which forms theoutlet of the basin,

and forms the connection thereof with the waste-pipe E. The passage Gand the funnel D communicate with each other, so that the water escapingfrom the basin, in all cases, finds its way to the waste-pipe E. Thewastepipe E has a trap, F, and the connection therewith of'the funnel I)is effected through a flanged nut, G. The letter H designates socketscast on the side of the basin A. The purpose of these sockets is to forma facile means of connecting with the basin a series of legs, I, bywhich the basin is held in an elevated position, the ends "of the legsbeing simply adjusted in the sockets H, and held in place by the weightof the basin.

The part B, as well as the funnel D and the socket GF, being all cast inone piece with the basin, the cost of the sink is materially reducedand, besides, the time and labor necessary to fasten thesaid parts aresaved.

The rear wall of the basin is provided with an extension, J, havingsegmental ribs 0, so that when the basin is put up in a house or otherplace, the ribs 0 and extension J form a shield to the water-pipes. Theextension J may be cast with the basin or made separate therefrom, asseen fit.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The extension J, having the ribs b, in combination with a sink-basin,substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand andseal.
